What happens if a dog accidentally eats a bone?

While it's scary to realize that your dog ate a chicken bone, it's likely that your dog will be okay if he didn't choke while eating the bone. “In most cases, the bone will be eliminated safely through the intestines,” Dr. Werber explains.

Can a dog digest a bone?

Most raw bones that have not been cooked are edible for dogs. Raw chicken, turkey, lamb, or beef bones are soft enough to chew, eat, and digest. That said, with all bones, there is a risk of choking if your dog swallows without thoroughly chewing, and bones that are too hard can cause damage to the teeth.

How long does it take a dog to digest a bone?

Once food leaves it, the primary activity is the absorption of the nutrients it contains. Digestion occurs more slowly in dogs than in people. Your pet will have digested that bone, and it would have continued its journey within 12 hours of eating it.
